• Halfway to Seventy

  This Thursday marks another milestone in my life. I'll turn 35. But the thing is that I really don't feel that age. As a matter of fact, physically I'm in better shape now that I ever was in my 20's. I feel as if my life's just begun, I know who I am as a person and know what I want in life -- more or less anyway. All in all, I'm more balanced with myself and I feel like belonging where I'm at.

  I'm happy to be the age I am. I don't miss being younger, I don't yearn to be more mature either. Simply because life happens now. The past has shaped me into the person I am today and I'm free to choose my path as it comes. Though I've made decisions in life I might not have made had I known then what I know now. But I don't regret making those decision at the time because it wouldn't change a thing now. Besides, too often we let the past dictate how we perceive the present and what we expect from the future instead of choosing our path without prejudice.

  That in mind, I'll just see what Thursday brings. I haven't made any special plans because why celebrate a number that doesn't feel like sticking to me just yet.
